"Lord, Save Me!!"
25] Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake.
26] When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear.
27] But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”
28] “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”
29] “Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.
30] But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!"
Matthew 14:25-30 NIV
Peter was about to self-destruct and find himself "head over hills" in some water he couldn't swim in. So from the pit of his soul, he cried out, "Lord, Save Me!!"
You see, when the situation is really real and you feel overwhelmed.. You have no time for pride, for ego, you have no time to stop and see whose watching. INSTEAD, something inside of you knows that even if I must risk being humiliated, so be it. "Lord, Save Me!!"
Now, the process must have seemed like forever to Peter (a few seconds can seem like an eternity, when you're scared)...But the bible says: Immediately, Jesus stretched out his hand and saved Peter. (Matt 14:31 NIV)
Jesus was able to (strong enough to) grab Peter's hand and pull him through...Even though, Peter's faith had been servely shaken, still Jesus was merciful just as He is with us.
Focus Points:
•You cannot save yourself.
•When you are not strong enough...Jesus is.
•Your faith will be shaken sometimes...Don't panic.
•His strength is made perfect in your weakness.
2 Corin 12:9 NKJ
Until Next Sunday.
